http://en.opensuse.org/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint% 2Cshared&only=styles&skin=bentofluid&* is delivered gzip-compressed - but it seems the HTTP response header does not state that.
The result is that Firefox only sees binary crap (gzip'ed CSS) instead of the content of MediaWiki:Common.css :-( (Funnily Konqueror (webkit mode) seems to auto-detect the encoding and can use the CSS delivered via load.php.)
Note: Testing with "telnet en.opensuse.org 80" without "Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate" is pointless for obvious reasons ;-)
This appears to be a bug in the MW software. Please see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25667. I'm looking for a workaround. Apache itself should be fine, as it would be using the default compression settings. Regards, Matt
